Boutique hotel Casa Talía is formed by a series of small houses, on different levels, situated around a central courtyard. Each room has its own entrance (from the garden) and a panoramic private terrace or balcony. All rooms are inspired by Mediterranean places and the cultures that have left their mark on Sicily. Each room is different (with its own colors and atmospheres) but always furnished with style and attention to detail.
Much attention has been paid to the choice of materials, which are natural, ecological, and, above all, typical of the Sicilian tradition: stone walls, lime plasters, thatched roofs, and tiled floors.
There are 4 different categories of rooms, some duplex, suitable for 2-5 people, so also ideal for families with children who are very welcome here. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, a safe, digital television, an internet connection, and a minibar. Parking is free at a 100m distance.
